Pumpkin Pancakes

It’s that stunning, perfect time of year in D.C. when the sun is shining but the air is just chilly enough that you want to be outside all the time. Picnics, jogging, hiking, you name it; I am out there lapping up every last second before it gets too cold for comfort.

On Saturday, a few friends and I went to Great Falls for what we thought would be a scenic walk. We ended up rock scrambling over a couple miles of huge boulders along the cliffs of the Potomac on the Billy Goat Trail. Who knew there were challenging hikes in Great Falls? It was a nice surprise.

Before we went, we fueled up with a home-cooked brunch, courtesy of the best chef I know, Brooke. As if it were nothing, she whipped up the most amazing scrambled eggs with smoked salmon, goat cheese, and chives (there’s your recipe – there’s nothing else to it). She also made us spiced pumpkin pancakes, which were perfect for a late October brunch.
